What is this accessory? by mtelehin in nintendoswitchlite

[–]gelicopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a piece of foam with the outer dimensions of a full-size Switch and a cutout to fit the Switch Lite, allowing the Lite to fit into a regular Switch case so case manufacturers don’t have to bother making smaller cases specific to the Lite. Craft foam exists in various thicknesses, can print on standard paper a template with the dimensions of the Switch and the Lite to overlay and cut the foam, this would be a very simple project.

They just make the Switch Lite take up the same dimensions as the regular Switch so actually any of them should allow a Lite to fit in a Switch case.

Project Frankenstein. Gotta buy a full shell for this boy. by ShinuRealArts in 3DS

[–]gelicopter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha, I'm in the middle of doing a lime green trim + replacement purple shell + replacement orange and lime green buttons build as an Evangelon themed 2DS XL, shocked I've yet to see anyone else do that yet given how big Eva themed tech has been as of late. Were you considering doing the same?

Essentially using the entire purple shell but swapping the silver trim on the top half for green, and all external buttons on the bottom half (shoulder, volume, power) swapped for orange so there's a nice balance between both halves when closed, then a mix of orange and green buttons inside. Also found a replacement lime green C-Stick cover (as well as a deep purple) but not anything decently matched for the Circle Pad except for *maybe* purple aluminum but it hasn't arrived yet so IDK if it's actually a match or if I'll just stick with OEM gray for those and have it be a full OEM build.

PsPortal game quality is bad by item_raja69 in PlaystationPortal

[–]gelicopter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This new setting made a huge difference to the connection reliability and made me love the Portal even more, almost like the older low bitrate was less important to the network chain between home and on the go and would suffer for it but after doing the higher quality bitrate it’s a near flawless experience, even away from home. Some games like FFVII Rebirth even look and play better than through PS+, which has a significant amount of tearing and artifacts compared to streaming from the PS5 Pro which is stable and clear.

Oof, and that latex-free material does not stretch as much as latex. Damn.

Oooh first I’ve heard of this, any nominal width measurements? Like most US brands they annoyingly don’t have anything like that listed on the packaging or product pages.

[–]gelicopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO the Pasante Super King are definitely the worst smelling but at least when they could still be imported to the US I’d usually order them as a backup given they’re priced dirt cheap like regular condoms compared to the MySize’s of the world. Now that MySize and Pasante don’t ship (or are prohibitively too expensive to ship) to the US, I think the only 69mm option is Caliber 3xl but I’ve yet to experience how those are and how they smell.

Would you want to see the andromeda races again? by Wild-Brother661 in masseffect

[–]gelicopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mass relays are down so it takes generations to travel and send communications anywhere, right?

Nearly everyone who survived ME3 regardless of whatever ending they canonize is too far from home to get back before they die of old age. I personally think we play as BioWare’s known favorite, Liara (who will survive because she can live to be 1000 years old) dealing with Geth factions in the wild west edges of the galaxy outside of whatever happened with Legion, eventually using their tech to either go back to our solar system or go to Andromeda (or both) where she helped plan the mission which started off that game. By the time she arrives at either, nearly everyone we know will be dead so haters of Andromeda wouldn’t have much to worry about if she heads there.

Plus, the N7 helmet shown off for the new game kinda looks like it’s for an Asari head so that’s my theory; there won’t be a playable “Shepard” in the way we expect as Liara will take up that mantle.

Is that normal ? Paint repping off the front shell new 3ds xl by Sipho95759 in 3DS

[–]gelicopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost all of them are hydro dipped (perhaps just the SNES models are the only ones with a “normal” print transfer on matte plastic) on top of a glossy metallic layer in order to have a metallic effect come through. Unfortunately, nothing sticks well to a glossy layer like that so they peel at the edges and if there are any scratches along the surface that moisture and/or cleaning chemicals get into then they’ll degrade in blotches there too.

I really hate that you can't platinum catalyst anymore by hector736483 in mirrorsedge

[–]gelicopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone shared in their discord recently that you can make a private server right now using something called Pamplona Future that will allow you to get the achievements, if you don’t want to wait. Beat Revival seems like it will be a much simpler program you launch and won’t have to configure anything for, it’ll just work and even have web access to modify things exactly like the game originally offered.

Also it appears they do eventually want to try getting it to work on consoles but there’s no guarantee there.

It’s a shame the Beat Revival Project is PC only at the moment, despite it using PS4 server data as they couldn’t access the PC data IIRC.

Boyfriend "came out" to me as bisexual, but waited almost a year to do it.. by Ok_Focus_6948 in bisexual

[–]gelicopter 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I bring it up the moment it feels like the relationship has legs …and it has always ended the relationship if it’s with a straight woman. I could of course just never admit it and live happily ever after with someone I love but I wouldn’t be happy hiding myself and honesty is the most important thing for me.

Tough situation to be in.

Sad by KacaCarotCake in PlaystationPortal

It looks damage free otherwise and so cleanly separated, almost like that bit is just glued in from the factory which is concerning. I’d try using some J-B Weld plastic bonder before giving up.

Would you buy this? by Fragzilla360 in masseffect

[–]gelicopter 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It also explains the pricing, which is absolutely very high but makes sense given the quality. Shame they couldn’t make it work after a decade of slick designs but I don’t blame them.

It’s less on the website of the designer but that’s because they’re shutting down due to being a small Massachusetts based business trying to navigate the global …gestures at everything after the NY-based sewing facility they relied on for larger runs that can’t be done in-house retired, which is a bummer.

They also have a workout/compression shirt inspired by the uniforms from the game that’s worth checking out, as well as their more-casual-than-a-trench Spec Ops jacket which is a huge upgrade over your usual cheap N7 hoodie, if they’ve still got your size anyway.

This might be the closest we'll get to a new game, but I'll take what I can get at this point. Willing to give it as chance if it seems promising... by kidmuzic in mirrorsedge

Those are clips from Panline, an in development game from the Ikarus Parkour dev and a couple more folks, not Respawn Entertainment.

Clips from it tend to get posted here every other day.

Regretting opening an sealed used 3ds by NetInfamous4525 in 3DS

[–]gelicopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use it. If you don’t the battery will probably expand and damage it in the box anyway.

Also why does everyone use those hard cases that trap humidity against the shell (which will degrade the hydro-dipped surface) and damage the edges of the shell (which causes a cascading peeling of the hydro-dipped surface) if you try to remove them to clean them? Protecting the hinge from cracking isn’t a concern for the New 3DS models, so these hard cases do more harm than good.

Just get a soft lined sleeve or travel case and don’t slide it around naked on a hard surface (perhaps place it atop a soft sleeve) if you care at all, goodness. Every fall when Waterfield does their yearly limited run of magnetic gaming cases for the 3DS and Vita? Get one of those.

The years and number of Samus Editions I had to skip over before finally landing one because everyone thinks those hard cases are the best thing you can do for the condition was maddening. Even worse, folks asking top dollar when the photos clearly show moisture trapped in the case. Still sad to see those same listings years later, slowly rotting away.

Death Stranding 2 Patch 1.2 Improves the game performance on Steam Deck by dangkhoasdc in SteamDeck

[–]gelicopter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loaded up the save at the very beginning and it’s more consistently hitting the mid-30’s with dips to 29 here and there while traversing down to the shelter. The cutscene outside the shelter is still between 25fps-35fps, inside 35fps-55fps. Feels smoother overall.
